Black Diamond - Hotwire Rackpack

The Hotwire from Black Diamond is a wiregate carabiner that employs a cold-forged construction and features a versatile shape for all-around performance. The 'biner that started the wiregate revolution, the HotWire carabiner is an integral part of any climber's rack even now, more than 20 years after its creation. With updated geometry, the HotWire also features a nose shroud that prevents the wire gate from opening when interacting with the rock. Its versatile size and large rope-bearing surface make it ideal for everything from after-work sport cragging to big-wall free climbing and long alpine ice routes.
The Rackpack includes 6 Hotwires, color-coded to match BD's cams.
